WOW~

So sudden, Zhu Fangyu has resigned from his position as GM of the Guangdong team ...From now on, when making videos, the opening line will have to change to "Look at the happiness of a team GM after being laid off."

Since May 2017, Zhu Fangyu had served as the GM of the Guangdong team. From 2019 to 2021, under his management, the club achieved a three-peat championship, but then failed to reach the finals for five consecutive years.
As for Zhu Fangyu's playing career, he spent all 18 seasons with the Guangdong team, during which he won 8 championships, 2 MVPs, 4 FMVPs (most in history), was selected to the All-Star game 15 times (most in history), and became the first player in CBA history to score 10,000 points.

It is worth noting that before Zhu Fangyu stepped down, head coach Du Feng had already left the Guangdong team, though the stated reason was to focus on the Guangdong Basketball Association City League.

This famous "Feng Yu combination" may never have the chance to work together again. Indeed, all good things come to an end, and separation is inevitable—sooner or later.

Du Feng had been the head coach of the Guangdong team since 2013, leading the team to a CBA championship in his first season, and then completing a three-peat from 2019 to 2021 while being named Coach of the Year three times. However, as mentioned, in recent years he has faced criticism for failing to meet expectations in terms of coaching results and his attitude toward players.

Since both the management and coaching staff have undergone major changes, the player roster has naturally changed too. Three-time champion power forward Du Runwang rejected Guangdong's C-class renewal contract and instead signed a 3-year D-class max contract to join the Tongxi team.

Du Runwang is currently 26 years old, standing 2.06 meters tall with a 2.06-meter wingspan. His CBA career statistics to date are as follows:
In the regular season, he averages 22.5 minutes, 8.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and makes 1.8 three-pointers per game at a 42.7% shooting percentage.
In the playoffs, he averages 18.7 minutes, 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and makes 1.5 three-pointers per game at a 43.1% shooting percentage.

This guy is a classic stretch big man—his stats may not be flashy, but his tactical value is immense. Throughout his Guangdong career, he has always played a key rotation role.

It's over, completely over. What lies ahead is a brand new era.
